Abstract
Germany participates in several national (e.g. NEPS) and international (e.g. PISA, TIMSS) student assessments. This chapter thus presents an overview of Germany’s participation in several national and international assessments. It also explains Germany’s current educational monitoring system and how it has been affected by results of international student assessments. Results from the Progress of International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) are described in detail as an example of international student assessments in Germany. The study focuses on students’ reading literacy, students’ motivation, instructional quality, differences between boys and girls, and differences between students with and without a migration background. The chapter closes by discussing Germany’s assessment policies, practices and outcomes.
